Perspective, its funny but i never thought about that, lifting weights as a means of loving oneself. hmm interesting. no matter how wise (or foolish, depending on who you ask) i may be some times a fresh perspective is whats needed, no pun intended.
It also never crossed my mind that the opposite sex would perhaps perceive differently. very interesting.

and i never will be.

In the beginnings of christian monasticism there was a group of mystics called Hesychasts (an interesting book to research this would be The Triads, byGregory Palamas - from the Classics of Western Spirituality series). Based on a concept they had -- that the true seat of mind is in the heart, and part of the dilemma of human existence is due to the confusion caused by the separation of awareness between head and heart, they developed a set of practices to bring their devotional focus back to the center of their being. Of course the idea of mind being centered in the body is common to other religious beliefs as well.
I don't know if this helps --or relates well to your search. But I thought it might add something, a piece of the puzzle perhaps. Hope so. I believe that the answer to all questions can be found by taking this route, i.e. centering.
blessings to you in your endeavor

Yes... Many people, including spiritual teachers, are coming to this... the need to give our attention into the center of our being in the inner heart.
Here's a practice: Inner Heart Meditation - http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=3695
